Chapter 4: Xuan Jing

At the wharf of Licheng Port in Goryeo, thousands of flags are flying in the wind, and the guard in yellow armor is ###, and at the front are dozens of officials, big and small, with their eyes looking at the sea in the distance.

After the honor guard, the bustling Goryeo people rubbed shoulders and jumped to watch. Licheng City has been emptied by thousands of people, and the people of the whole city have gathered at the wharf, ready to see the demeanor of the Great Song Dynasty Shenzhou.

Some time ago, the envoy sent by the Great Song Dynasty fleet arrived first, and the news rushed to Kyoto, and the king of Goryeo heard that the Great Song Dynasty had sent an envoy to Goryeo, and his heart was happy and worried, and he was happy that this was the glory of Goryeo.

Although Goryeo is subordinate to the Liao State, there is no way to do it, after all, the Liao State is strong and borders Goryeo, and if you do not bow your head, it is likely to cause the disaster of destroying the country. But these countries all yearn for Chinese civilization, and the heavenly kingdom in their minds is none other than the Great Song Dynasty.

What's more, in the battle of the Liao and Song dynasties a few days ago, the Song State suppressed the Liao State, and now the Liao State has just quelled the Jurchen rebellion. And the Great Song Dynasty sent the prince who defeated the Liao State to envoy Goryeo, how could it not make Wang Hao happy?

The worry is that the most beloved third son Cheng Gui was cut off by the king of your right hand, it is obviously impossible to say that Wang Hao has no hatred for Wu Zhi, but he is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is helpless. The third son has been in trouble recently, so I am afraid that he will be angry, take revenge on the king, and do something that will damage the relationship between Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Hao hurriedly convened the ministers to discuss how to receive the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty. The upper-class figures of Goryeo naturally knew that the commander of the Great Song Dynasty in the battle of Liao and Song was the noble king who sent an envoy to Goryeo this time. All happy, under the discussion, the eldest prince Wang Chengmata went to Licheng Port to greet the Great Song Dynasty, and the Goryeo king Wang Hao set up a state banquet in Kyoto to entertain him, etc., although Wang Hao had the heart to send his third son to receive Wu Zhi, but remembered the temper of the third son. Still sighed. Approved by the ministers.

When the Great Song fleet slowly approached the port of Licheng, the two huge ships like small hills made all the Goryeo officials who came to greet them open, and after a brief silence on the dock, they immediately erupted in earth-shattering cheers. It's been a long time......"

Wu Zhi was purple-clothed and jade-crowned, his spirit was flying, and he slowly walked down the Shenzhou under the embrace of the guards, looked at the crowds of people on the dock, listened to the deafening cheers, and was full of ambition, and the leaders who visited in later generations were not as majestic as themselves!

A group of officials from Goryeo hurried to catch up. Xu Jing was "interpreting" on the side, and Wu Zhi carefully looked at the Goryeo prince in the front, who was in his thirties, with a thin face, bright eyes, and a fluent Chinese, which was much stronger than the Chinese when he first saw Xuan Jing.

Wu Zhi smiled and greeted Wang Chengmata, "The eldest prince came to greet him, Wu didn't dare to be it." ”

Wang Chengyu smiled and said, "Your king is too humble. You are a great hero, and my father wanted to come to greet him in person, but he was physically inconvenient, so he had to send Xiao Wang to come, although Xiao Wang was honestly afraid. There is only a cheeky face to do this to welcome guests. ”

Wu Zhi laughed: "The eldest prince can speak." ”

Amid the cheers of the onlookers, the two entered the port hand in hand......

In the following days, Wu Sik fell into the banquet of Goryeo officials, and at the state banquet he met the Goryeo king Wang Hao, who looked old and old.

A few days later, in Kyoto, Takeshi's residence Hongyuan Building.

The placement in the living room is not much different from that of the Middle Earth, the bonsai and wood plants are all imitating the Middle Earth, and Wu Zhi and Wang Chengmata are seated separately.

After chatting casually, Wang Chengmata suddenly said: "Your king, the third brother was reckless and offended in the past, don't blame it!" ”

Wu Zhi said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I should apologize to the third prince!" ”

Wang Chengmata said: "I don't dare to do this, the third brother is impulsive, and he collided with your king, he should make amends!" Saying that, he sighed, "The third brother has not been very happy recently, so he will visit your king in the future, and your king is not strange......"

Wu Zhi wanted to inquire about Xuanjing's news, but he had just arrived in Goryeo, and if he was in a hurry to find out the news, he was afraid of startling the snake, so although he was anxious in the past few days, he was silent, and at this time, he heard Wang Chengyu mention it, and pretended not to care and asked, "Oh?" I don't know what's wrong with the third prince? ”

Wang Chengyu sighed and said: "The third brother is good at everything, but I didn't expect it to be so unsmooth in this wedding event, who would have thought that my father's finger marriage would cause such a big twist and turn......"

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Could it be that the third prince still can't resist marriage?" ”

Wang Chengmata said: "How can that be? My father likes the third brother the most, the female family is a Goryeo family, she is a beautiful life, and she is still a famous swordsman in Goryeo, how can the third brother disagree, it is a girl who resists marriage and makes a lot of trouble......" The words stopped slightly, and seemed to be a little inappropriate to say these things to the king of the Great Song Dynasty, so he changed the topic: "Haha, don't talk about this, I came to accompany the king out to play today......"

How can Wu Zhi be in the mood to accompany him to play, tonight is the Li family banquet to invite the King of the Great Song Dynasty, Wu Zhi still needs to think about how to find out the news from the Li family, yesterday has been on the line with the people sent by Jiangnan Wang Jin, although there is no plan yet, or ordered Wang Jin to send An Daoquan, Shi Qian, Jin Dajian and others, these people have their own abilities, maybe it will come in handy.

However, a news from Jiangnan also made Wu Zhi a little uneasy, the Jurchen rebellion has been quelled, it turned out to be Wanyan Agu killed his brother, and helped the Liao State to quell the rebellion, and now Wanyan Aguta has been canonized by the Liao State as the envoy of the Jurchen Festival, thinking that there is a Liao State to support Wanyan Aguta will speed up the pace of unifying the Jurchen tribes, although the Jurchen has hurt the vitality, but Wanyan Agu is a hero, and the Jin State will definitely rise in the white mountains and black waters. I still need to find a way to weaken the real power of women!

Wu Zhi was thinking nonsense in his mind, and said in his mouth: "I'm a little tired today, the eldest prince forgive me." ”

Wang Chengyu smiled understandingly: "That's right, your king must be tired when he goes to the banquet every day, but I can't think about it." ”

Wu Zhi said casually: "Today is going to Li Shangshu's Mansion for a banquet, the eldest prince and Li Shangshu are familiar with each other?" ”

Wang Chengyu heard Wu Zhi mention "Li Shangshu". His eyes flickered for a while, although he immediately returned to normal, but the trace of hatred in his eyes was still seen by Wu Zhi, and he smiled in his heart, these days Wang Chengmata mentioned the third prince, the third brother. The third brother is short. looked very affectionate, and thought that he really didn't care about the throne, it turned out that it was just a deep city, and the Li family and the third prince Wang Chenggui were married. Naturally, he will help Wang Chenggui to win the heir, and the eldest prince can't help but hate the Li family.

"The Li family has been loyal and good for generations, and it is a famous family in Goryeo, and Li Shangshu is a veteran of the two dynasties, with high morality, and Xiao Wang has always admired ......" Wang Chengyu said admiringly, and his tone was very sincere.

Wu Zhi nodded suddenly. seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "Speaking of the Li family, I used to meet a businessman from your country in Middle Earth, also surnamed Li, with a single name, this person has a good character, and he is very close to Wu, but unfortunately since he returned to his homeland, the two of us haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Wang Chengmata heard that Wu Zhi knew the Koreans. Said with a smile: "Favored by the king, this person's blessing is not small, the little king can be found for the king, but there are not many merchants who often go to the Great Song Dynasty, if there is no accident." You'll find it in a few days. ”

Wu Zhi pretended to be happy and said with a smile: "Thank you so much for the eldest prince." ”

Wang Chengyu smiled humbly, and said "Li Cheng...... Li Cheng ......" suddenly changed his complexion and asked, "How old is Li Cheng whom your king has befriended?" Do you have children? ”

Wu Zhi had already pondered it before coming to Goryeo, and he couldn't mention the relationship with Xuan Jing for the time being, so he used Li Cheng's identity as a friend to go on the road and get a thorough understanding of the situation in Goryeo, so he naturally pretended to be puzzled at this time: "I don't know this, I only know that Li Cheng is from Kyoto, and he has been doing business in the Great Song Dynasty all the year round, and he only returned to Goryeo a year ago, and he seems to be walking with the third prince." ”

Wang Chengyu listened to Wu Zhi's words, his face was cloudy, and he seemed to be calculating the gains and losses, and he sighed after a long time. Angry: "Xiao Wang doesn't hide it from your king, the Li Chengjiu you said is a member of the Li family." ”

Wu Zhi looked happy and said with a smile: "Really? Wouldn't you see this old friend tonight, haha, that's fast! ”

Wang Chengyu smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that your king won't be able to see Li Cheng...... for a while."

Wu Zhi was surprised: "Why is this? ”

Wang Chengmata said: "Fang Cai and your king said that the marriage of the third brother, it is this Li Cheng's daughter who resisted the marriage, a few days before the third brother's marriage more than a month ago, Miss Li suddenly disappeared, and later learned that the original people had not agreed, it was Li Shangshu who locked her in the house, and then the wedding date was approaching, Miss Li knocked out the guards, and disappeared, her father was furious, and all the people of the Li family had been arrested and put in prison, and Li Cheng was also among them......"

Wu Zhi frowned and said, "People from the Li family? What about Li Shangshu? He asked knowingly.

Wang Chengyu didn't know that Wu Zhi was pretending to be stupid, and patiently explained: "The Li family has many side lines, and Li Cheng's family will all be arrested, and my father Wang Yan said that if Miss Li doesn't appear again, he will take the Li family under knife!" I heard that Li Shangshu was also implicated, he was scolded several times, and he was punished for a year, if it weren't for Li Shangshu's favor and trust by his father, I am afraid that the Li family would be unlucky......"

Wu Zhi listened to him babbling these simple words, knowing that he was scheming, not a person who likes to show off his tongue, saying these must have a deep meaning, and he was silent at the moment, thinking about it in his heart.

Wang Chengyu looked at Wu Zhi's face and asked, "Xiao Wang took the liberty to ask, how is the relationship between your king and Li?" ”

Wu Zhi said: "It can be called profound, if the eldest prince can help, Wu is grateful." ”

Wang Chengmata had a difficult face: "The Li family angered his father, and Xiao Wang was really powerless!" ”

Wu Zhi played with the teacup in his hand and was silent.

Wang Chengyu pondered for a long time, and sighed: "Speaking of which, this matter involves the face of the Wang family, if Li Cheng wants to get out of trouble, he can only find a way to persuade Li Shangshu and his father Wang, and then find Miss Li and reschedule the marriage......"

Wu Zhi basked slightly, "The eldest prince really thinks like this?" The eldest prince also wants the Li family and the third prince to marry? "Don't bother to go around in circles with him and pick the conversation away.

Wang Chengyu's face changed greatly, he was confused, and muttered a few words in his mouth, "Xiao Wang naturally thinks like this......" suddenly got up and said: "Xiao Wang still has something, let's leave first!" He turned around and walked out in a panic.

Wu Zhi looked at his back and shook his head, although this person has a lot of scheming, he is too cautious in doing things, no wonder he is the eldest prince but Wang Chenggui overshadowed the limelight, looking at his original intention, he probably wants to make friends with himself, use himself as a pawn, and win some benefits for him in the brotherly battle. But I didn't want to see through his mind, and a few words came out...... He was so frightened that he ran away from the door. Wu Zhi smiled helplessly, so without courage, what's the use of having more thoughts?

Turning to think of what Wang Chengyu said, he didn't expect Xuan Jing to escape from the Li Mansion. Nowhere to be found. It's a good thing, but where do you start looking for her? In Goryeo, there is no splashing skin to help you do things!

Sighing, he walked to the window and looked at a few white clouds in the blue sky. Xuan Jing, where are you? The fiery red shadow appeared in front of me, lingering.

The flaming red dress, the fiery little brute boots, the fiery red hair ribbon, and the red beautiful shadow sat there quietly, silently wiping the long sword in his hand.

The door creaked. A young man came in this elegant room, when he saw the fiery red shadow, his eyes immediately turned hot, and when the girl in red turned around, the young man's face was immediately full of a friendly smile: "Xuan Jing, it's been okay these days!" ”

Xuan Jing nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on her pale face: "Thank you, Third Brother!" ”

The young man smiled: "It's so polite to the third brother." He walked over and put the food box on the table, "Well, this is your favorite steamed fish." Give it a try! As he spoke, he opened the food box, took out the dishes and chopsticks, and helped Xuan Jing serve rice.

Xuan Jing shook her head: "I'm not hungry, don't be busy, third brother!" ”

The young man sighed: "Xuan Jing, you can't do this. Look at you, you were already thin, but now you have lost a few laps, what should you do if you are hungry? As he spoke, he took the opportunity to scan Xuan Jing's slender and slender curves up and down.

Xuan Jing was full of worries, and she didn't pay attention to the young man's eyes at all, sighing. Angry: "Third brother, my father is really fine?" Why am I not sure? ”

The young man said: "Don't worry, uncle, they are fine, I heard that my uncle will go to the Great Song Dynasty in a few days." ”

Xuan Jing heard the young man mention "Da Song", a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Really? ”

The young man said, "Of course, how could I lie to you! After being silent for a while, he said cautiously: "Xuanjing, Kyoto is a place of right and wrong, and the whole city is looking for you, although you don't leave the house, but you are afraid that someone will find out." Besides, if you are bored in the room every day, when will it be the end? In a few days, the third brother will go to Xijing to take up his post, why don't you go to Xijing with the third brother, where the sky is high and the sea is wide, and you can let Xuan soar quietly! ”

Xuan Jing shook her head: "Third brother, thank you for your kindness, Xuan Jing can't leave." The young man was surprised: "Why? ”

"Xuan Jing wants to wait for a friend...... mentioning "a friend", Xuan Jing's eyes that were originally a little confused suddenly became a little more bright, and the pale ground forehead also showed a little redness, and immediately looked beautiful and bright, and the young man's heart shook for a while, and he couldn't help himself.

Coughing a few times, the young man asked, "What kind of friend?" Did your friend say he was coming to you? ”

Xuan Jing said: "As long as he receives the news, he will definitely come!" The tone was firm.

The young man frowned and said, "Even if your friend comes, what will you do?" Don't bother others! ”

"No, if he comes, the big thing can be solved for Xuan Jing......" Xuan Jing looked at the clouds outside the window and muttered. Thoughts seemed to drift far to the west with the clouds.

The young man felt uncomfortable for a while: "What's your friend's name?" The third brother is going to report for you! "I want to see who can convince Xuan Jing like this.

"He...... Sometimes it's called Mu Wu...... Sometimes it is called a military official...... Sometimes it's called Wu Zhi...... Hee-hee, I don't know which name he will use when he comes to Goryeo......" Xuan Jing didn't know if he was talking to Qing Nian, so he whispered to himself, the sentence "he" was really soft-hearted, like hatred and joy, and finally seemed to remember something, and he giggled.

Although Xuan Jing's voice was low, the young man could hear it clearly, and when he saw Xuan Jing's expression again, a wave of jealousy rushed up irrepressibly. Since returning to Goryeo, he has never seen his cousin smile, and the happy sweet smile when he mentions her "friend" fascinates the young man, but also makes him jealous.

The young man's surname is Jin Mingyang, he is Xuan Jing's cousin, the Jin family is also a big family, but Jin Yang is a single biography, and the family business of the Jin family will naturally fall on his head in the future. Jin Yang also likes the lively Li family and lives in the Li Mansion all the year round, of course, Jin Yang is a drunkard, not in wine, but in Xuanjing.

I don't know when Jin Yang began to have a deep affection for Xuan Jing, I thought I was looking for an opportunity to ask my parents to propose, I didn't want a thunderbolt from the sky, Li Shangshu suddenly got engaged to Xuan Jing, Jin Yang didn't sleep for a few days and nights, and fell seriously ill, causing a panic between Li and Jin's families, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Later, Xuan Jing returned to Goryeo, resisted marriage and was imprisoned, a few days before the wedding, Jin Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly helped Xuan Jing escape and hid in this hut.

A few days ago, the Jin family found a deacon for Jin Yang in Xijing, and Jin Yang thought that he could take Xuanjing to live and live in an amphibious, so he rushed over, not wanting to be poured cold water on his head.

Jin Yang was hateful and jealous in her heart at this time, listening to Xuan Jing's words, her "friend" didn't seem to be from Korea, why did she have more names? "Mu Wu", "Wu Daguanren", "Wu Zhi", Daguanren? It seems to be the name of the Song people, Wu Zhi...... Wu Zhi...... Why is this name so familiar?

"Xuan Jing, you have heard of this friend's name, Wu Zhi?" Jin Yang frowned and thought.

Xuan Jing chuckled and said, "I didn't expect his name to be known to the third brother, it seems that his fame is getting bigger and bigger......" There was a slight pride in his tone.

Jin Yang was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, afraid that Xuan Jing would see that he was unhappy, so he lowered his head and said nothing. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered why he felt that this name was familiar, and asked with a nervous face: "Could it be that the friend Xuan Jing said is the King of the Great Song Dynasty?" His voice trembled slightly, and he was afraid that Xuan Jing nodded.

Xuan Jing was immersed in her own thoughts, and didn't pay attention to Jin Yang's strange appearance at all, and sighed: "Yes, I don't know if he got the letter?" If he was here, Xuan Jing wouldn't be afraid of anything! ”

Jin Yang was struck by lightning, stood stunned for a while, and said with a forced smile: "There are distinguished guests in the house tonight, I will go to help the foreign office with some chores, and I will come to see you tomorrow!" ”

Xuan Jing got up and said, "Third brother, go slowly." After sending Jin Yang away, Xuan Jing walked to the window, looked at the west, and murmured: "Teacher, Qiqiao, eldest sister, do you know that Xuan Jing is thinking of you?" His lips bit lightly, and two lines of tears slowly flowed......

Kyoto Li Shangshu Mansion, the structure is magnificent, the corner of the eaves pavilion is faintly visible in the cyan mansion wall, the big red gauze lamp is hung high on the side of the mansion door, and several servants are brightly dressed and stand on both sides.

In the Shangshu Mansion, the laughter is noisy, jubilant, Li Shangshu invited the King of the Great Song Dynasty to the banquet, the two chatted very speculatively at the banquet, Li Shangshu was old and strong, and the king repeatedly clinked glasses, which attracted people to stick out their tongues, I haven't seen the master so happy for a long time, since Miss Xuanjing escaped from marriage, Li Shangshu has never shown a smiling face.

"Your lord, the old man is happy today! Very happy! Li Shangshu laughed. Goryeo does not have its own writing, the nobles all learn Chinese characters, but the language is in Goryeo, although Li Shangshu can speak a few sentences of Chinese, after all, it is not good to speak, only the labor Xu Jing is the "translator".

Wu Zhi looked at this old man in the armor, was he forcing Xuan Jing to marry that straw bale prince? Look at the old man is very shrewd, how can he do such a foolish thing?

"Your king has seen the Koreans before?" Li Shangshu asked with a smile. Speaking of which, the third prince was cut off by the king, only a few people in the royal family knew, and the accompanying guards were thrown into the sea before they returned to Goryeo, and the cause of death was a fight with pirates, and the family members of these guards were not implicated, and they were all rewarded with a lot of money. The third prince's hand was naturally also broken in the fight with pirates. Xuan Jing's father, Li Cheng, saw this situation, how dare he talk nonsense? Even if Xuan Jing and the princess got acquainted, they didn't dare to mention it again, for fear of being angered by the third prince. It was Li Shangshu who now asked such a sentence.

Wu Zhi nodded and said, "Naturally, I have seen it." ”

Li Shangshu said: "Then what does your king think of me as a Goryeo?" ”

Wu Zhi sighed, "Quiet, generous, beautiful ......" suddenly woke up, and secretly glanced at Xu Jing, Xu Jing was dumbfounded, and when he saw Wu Zhi's eyes, he naturally understood, and said a lot, thinking that it was all high-sounding praise.

Li Shangshu listened to Xu Jing's words, was very happy, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise, the old man is embarrassed to hear it, haha." ”

There was laughter here, and in the shadows not far away, Jin Yang stared at Wu Zhi's back fiercely, his teeth creaked, and after a while, he seemed to remember something, turned around and walked out.
